The Avenue

This evening, we walked down the road to our local, the Three Tuns, to see the Skatoons.  Well worth seeing if you like a bit of Ska. 

While there, I enjoyed conversation with a man from Glasgow. He lives around the corner to my old flat in Washington. He’s a Celtic fan, although most of his family are Rangers fans. 

Anyway, the band was pretty good. After which, Sooz had nachos and I asked whether music could be played. Well, it was late, so music had been turned off. 

And so, I asked for anything from Augustines. Randomly, we heard the Avenue. 

It’s probably my most favourite Augustines’ song. While I very much regret that the band split up last year, I enjoyed Mr McCarthy’s solo gigs in Berlin and Munich. 

Very much. 

Taking time off work for those gigs meant that we couldn’t go mad in the UK. So we shall only see him play once here. In Newcastle. So looking forward to it though. 

Burka II

There’s a sticker on the side of the phone box at the top of the hill. It seems that it isn’t often used after all and is going to be removed. 

Phone virus

Earlier today, I received some text messages from numbers not known to me. 

My immediate fear was that my phone had somehow been affected by a virus. And then I read this on Twitter. 

Apparently, text messages are also randomly going to the wrong people. A lot of people seem to be affected.
